DIY Weddings: Cherry Harvest Table

It's a cherries jubilee! Pick the freshest fruit of the season and plan your color scheme around it! (expert advice)

Pick the freshest fruit of the season and plan your color scheme around it. For this table, we've chosen fetching cherries in red and gold.

We purchased fruit baskets at The Container Store (for less than $2 each) wrapped ribbon around them, and filled them with Rainier cherries. We made sure to pick fruit without bruises or marks.

Next, we chose red napkins to coordinate and placed a darling bowl of cherries at every place setting. Each favor was marked with a little flag and personalized with each guests name.

Bottled drinks in the same color as the fruit make the table pop! Fruit is unexpected for a wedding and is eco-friendly, as you can send the centerpieces home with all the guests. Enjoy!
